As we announced on October 27<\/a>, the dates (February 21-25, 2022) have already been decided and Habanos SA continues to make every effort to ensure that the event can take place.<\/p>\nAccording to our sources in Cuba, if the organizers have not yet officially announced that the event will take place, it is because they are waiting for a political green light. After a year and a half of an unprecedented economic crisis since the 1990s, Cuba is in a very difficult state. The reopening of the country to foreign tourists since November 15 has not yet translated into reservations.<\/p>\n
Habanos S.A. is also concerned about the still draconian sanitary rules imposed by certain Asian countries – measures (long quarantine mandatory on return) which could dissuade potential participants from registering for the Festival.<\/p>\n
